IMPORTANT

These symbols appear in this document whenever it is important to take special precautions during installation,
operation, maintenance or servicing of the motors.

It is essential that electric motors are installed by experienced, qualified and authorized personnel.

In accordance with the main requirements of EU Directives, the safety of people, animals and property should be
ensured when fitting the motors into machines.

Particular attention should be given to equipotential ground or earthing connections.

The noise level of the machines, measured under standard conditions, conforms to the requirements of the standard.

The following preliminary precautions must be taken before working on any stationary device:
• mains voltage disconnected and no residual voltage present
• careful examination of the causes of the stoppage (blocked transmission - loss of phase
- cut-out due to thermal protection - lack of lubrication, etc)

11.5.2 - Dismantling the DE shield


- Dismantle the DE shield without removing the rotor (3). To do
this:

- Using an appropriate lifting tool, take out the rotor without
knocking the winding.

described in the General information in section 6 (shrinkfitting drive end roller bearings
only).
IMPORTANT : Before undertaking any of these procedures, 416

read the «CHECKS BEFORE REASSEMBLY» section.

11.5.4 - Reassembly
- Mount the DE bearing (30) on the rotor shaft (take care not to
forget the inner bearing retainer (33) and the circlip (38)!), and
also the NDE bearing (50) if and only if the stator inner Ø allows
the inner NDE bearing retainer (53) to pass through, refit the
circlip (60), refit the preloading springs in their housing in the
50
inner NDE bearing retainer (53). 33 53
- Insert the rotor into the stator taking care not to knock the

done.
- Fill the decompression grooves (416) located in the shaftway
and the grease inlet pipes with grease.
- Present the shields, grease nipples facing upwards. Begin
with the DE shield (5). Fix a dowel pin in one of the inner bearing
retainer (33) tapped holes so that the grease inlet pipes fully
correspond.
- End with the NDE shield (6). Fix a dowel pin in one of the inner
bearing retainer (53) tapped holes so that the grease inlet
pipes fully correspond.
- Lift the rotor slightly and fit the shields in place.
